The man who choked horrifically for Ohio State in the 1996 Sugar Bowl and flamed out in the professional ranks, Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves) received a second opportunity when a strike forced the use of replacement players. So how did Reeves rebound from a label of a choke artist who avoided contact? Apparently, all he needed was Gene Hackman, a cheerleader and “Heart”. Sure, the believability scale wasn’t too high on this one, but somehow we bought Reeves as a Quarterback, and this sports flick is a favorite of many. Actually, we believed he was more capable of that than as a barnacle scraper.The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Replacements (2000)
Actor:
Shane Falco
Position Portrayed:
Quarterback
Played for:
Washington Sentinels
Why you should vote for him:
Falco was the story of athletic redemption, and Reeves was believable (and considering this is not exactly a thespian we are talking about here) says something.
Why you should not vote for him:
Prior to his comeback, his pro career was a stage below Ryan Leaf.
